Gary Rowett described Blues' performance as "incredibly frustrating" as his former side were beaten again, despite playing well.

Birmingham City lost 3-1 against Leeds United at St Andrew's on Friday night, even though there was very little to separate the sides.

The clinical finishing of Chris Wood, who bagged the visitors' first and second goals, and Alfonso Pedraza, with the third, put Blues to the sword after Craig Gardner had hit a second-half equaliser.

And Rowett, who was replaced by Gianfranco Zola in December, thought the hosts were impressive on the ball but not for the first time this season, they ended the 90 minutes with nothing to show for them.

"It's incredibly frustrating of course, they did play well, Birmingham," said Rowett in his role as a pundit for Sky Sports.
